Problem
Possible cause and remedy
White residue is visible
on cutlery and crock‐
ery, clouding occurs on
glassware; film can be
wiped off.
Not enough rinse aid was used.
Increase the dosage (see "Before using for the first
time - Rinse aid").
There is no salt in the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first
time - Dishwasher salt").
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐
rectly.
Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
An unsuitable combination detergent has been used.
Change your detergent. Use a standard liquid,
tablet or powder detergent, and fill the salt and
rinse aid reservoirs in the dishwasher.
The water softener is programmed to too low a water
hardness level.
Programme the water softener for harder water
(see "Before using for the first time - Water soften‐
er").
There are rust stains on
cutlery.
The affected items are not corrosion resistant.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle.
Always run the
Gentle 45°C
programme with
the
Short
programme option selected and
without any crockery in the dishwasher after add‐
ing dishwasher salt.
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐
rectly.
Replace it, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
